Nurse Aide Skills Practice to provide practice for your skills exam:
PCC's Nurse Aide program uses the latest online and classroom technologies available. Most faculty members are registered nurses with a wide variety of experience including hospital, long-term, and home health care. Our program is 95 hours in length – much more than the minimum federal requirement of 75 hours. This is so you will be work ready upon graduation. An online hybrid portion for the theory is offered which has theory/lecture online and labs at a PCC campus. PCC's certification exam pass rates are consistently above the overall state average.
This program will teach you the basic skills and procedures needed to assist hospital patients, long-term care residents, and home health care clients with their daily living activities.
To succeed in this program, you must have a sincere concern for people; good physical and emotional health; an excellent attendance record; an ability to communicate effectively with other health care personnel, patients and their families; and a neat, well-groomed appearance.
Note: Clinical agencies that are used during the program will require that you successfully complete a background check, drug screening, immunization series and CPR training. You must also carry malpractice insurance.
The licensure requirements for Nurse Aide may differ between all 50 states and U.S. territories.
